User talk:Seshat~enwiki

Welcome to Wikipedia, Seshat! Some useful links for newcomers are Naming conventions, Manual of Style, and The perfect article. Most questions are answered at Help; if you have a question not answered there, then you can post it to the Village pump.

Thanks for adding the reference to the Principle of maximum entropy article! As you can see, I have made some cosmetic changes to your edit, just to make it look pretty.

I will give you a word of warning about Wikipedia, although I guess it applies to all electronic communication. When comments are posted, the raw text appears without vocal inflections or body language. This is stating the obvious, but people seem to forget it in the heat of the moment, which gives rise to tremendous flame wars in newsgroups; in Wikipedia, it frequently results in an exchange of insults during a dispute over the content of an article. So my word of warning is this: don't be surprised if someone makes comments to you that seem unnecessarily terse or rude; and try not to get upset about it. It is a side-effect of the medium.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Seshat. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Seshat~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:55, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
